Metroid Dread came out about a year ago. We’re all waiting on Metroid Prime 4.
Yeah, no modding :(
I saw a Twitter thread from someone I respect who said, “You are perhaps not a person who is likely to play several different farm sims in your gaming life. You played Stardew Valley and loved it and until something is dramatically different or better than that, you’re content to give the genre a pass. Some of us, however, really enjoy them a LOT. We have played Stardew (and Story of Seasons and Harvest Moon and Graveyard Keeper and My Time in Portia and a whole bunch of others you don’t know about) and we are happy to play more. It’s like shooters or fighting games. There are a bunch of them, and on the surface they’re all quite the same, but when you get into the specifics, they’re different in ways that matter to the core audience.”
The good news: Metroid Prime 4 is about a year and a half away.
The bad news: No matter what day it is, Metroid Prime 4 is always about a year and a half away.
Its like the legacy system I supported for 4 years. When I joined the team it was on the 3 year divestment plan. When I left the team it was still on the 3 year divestment plan.
That is amazingly close to what I experienced! We had an outdated financial database that was always going to be migrated Very Soon Now. I ended up quitting after moving to a new role at work, AND continuing to support the legacy system which still hadn’t gone away.
Has anyone bought any of the “Cloud Version” games on the Switch? On the one hand, it sounds like a great-ish way to enjoy higher-end games…but on the other hand, I’m livid at the idea that someday I’ll go back to a game and remember “Oh yeah, the servers went down and I can’t play it anymore.”
I don’t think anything has topped it, but I did think that both My Time at Portia(I haven’t played the sequel) and Graveyard Keeper were interesting twists on the formula.
Cripes. Looks like I’m skipping Factorio, this is crazy.
Usually Libertarians don’t go to the “Technically, it’s EPHEBOPHILIA” well so quickly, but they all get there in the end…
You can try them all for free, they been around for a while. They are not very good experience to me, nothing like what you could get on a PC with that same concept about ten years ago, but I only go to try them from Asia and Europe, not the US.
Them being priced as full game is ludicrous I think.
I’ve watching the Nintendo Direct now, and he pronounced “Live A Live”.
If this English voice over/translator is correct, it’s pronounced “Live (as in “Let’s do it Live”) Alive”.
Very informative!
Edit: Also, you guys weren’t kidding about these farming games. I guess it was inevitable given the success of Animal Crossing.
I’d blame Stardew instead, but the truth is they have always been popular in Japan.
Speaking of which, yet another enhanced port of Hitsuji-mura (well, a new one after the last one which was like 15 years ago) is due out this year.
It’s regrettably not based on the best farming game ever, aka the DS version of it which was actually released in the US, but on the Sony ones.
Still, you can slaughter animals, have to defend your own animals from assault from the occasional predator using a variety of doggos, and it features one of the best mascottes ever.
Sorry which game is that?
I honestly can’t remember the US name it was sold under, and looking it up hasn’t helped me. This is annoying.
Boo, my good man. Boo I say.
Ah, looking simply for “DS Farming game” helped, and it’s a tricky one: it’s called Shepherd Crossing, and the incredible DS version was called Shepherd’s Crossing 2
Also FYI guys, new golf game from the Hot Shots Golf folks!
It’s been bought and tested a bit ;)
Doesn’t play as smoothly as on the phone, and I also experienced a freeze already. But I’d like to think it was pushed out for the direct and that it’ll be patched very properly, given the guys who made it.
Perfect, I’ll seek it out, thank you!
Wow I can only find the PSP version of Shepherd’s Crossing at my usual sources. Crazy.
Holy crap Shepherd’s Crossing 2 for the DS is HUNDREDS of dollars on ebay. Wow.
